Indeed it ran but it was so slowly that I render it unusable.
The difference there might be ARM vs. x86, though. I've run one of the
EXE Gnu/Linux Live CDs with TDE on an early Pentium III (550 MHz)
with about the same amount of RAM, and it was usable, although programs
were a bit slow to start. That might just be the CD drive, though.
I haven't tried it on my 486 yet (and I'd have to do something about the
busted serial port first, even if there's a compatible LiveCD). Maybe I
should, just to see how bad it would really be. ;)
